Competition 2025 / Re: 2025 State of Play: where ...
Last post by Clairwil - November 23, 2025, 04:36:56 AMI don't know why, but I have a hunch this is a really good time to check on the battles that are still going on in the final round!
N.B.: Points reported as of the beginning of ZCT293.
2nd place
A Duplode victory in ZCT293 would leave the gap between him and MiDiaN at either 2 or 1 point, depending on whether MiDiaN ends in second or not, plus any PTB changes in ZCT293. In such a scenario, Duplode would have the advantage in a tiebreaker (two race victories versus one). Still, he would have to bridge this remaining gap through PTB. Looking at the current PTB charts, this battle could be a done deal in a matter of hours...
5th place
While KyLiE, with 80.5 points at the end of ZCT292, has the fourth place guaranteed, the contest for fifth remains wide open. On the one hand, HerrNove has managed to shore up his challenge over the last couple of races; on the other hand, a gap of a single position could make his 1.5 point advantage over Alan vanish, as the Argentinian pipsqueak has two extra available points. It is also worth noting that should the two of them end up with the same amount of real points, Alan, with one win and two second places up to now, would win the tiebreaker. All that's needed for this battle to really light up is HerrNove to hit the track on ZCT293!
8th to 10th place
All pipsqueaks in this block can still reach the 8th place, but it's a narrow path: Mark Nailwood needs a perfect 14-point race and no additional points for Frieshansen; as for Zapper and Overdrijf, assuming equal PTB on ZCT293 a win by either of them would still need Frieshansen to end no higher than 8th or 11th respectively. In any case, the gaps between 9th and 11th range are smaller than those to Frieshansen just above in 8th. In particular, again assuming equal PTB, a gap of three positions could suffice for Mark Nailwood to climb to 10th, or for Overdrijf to reach 9th. On a busy scoreboard, anything can happen!
Am League, 3rd place
This is not a copy-paste error: the circumstances conspired to bring Cas and Leo to the last round perfectly tied, on a direct fight for the final Am podium spot!

General Chat - ZSC / Re: Folyami ratings monthly up...
Last post by Duplode - November 22, 2025, 11:51:13 PMIt's time for the ZCT292 update of the rankings!
Before we get to the update proper, I should note the rankings have been revised to account for the scoreboard changes triggered by the replay cloning incident. You can gauge what changed by looking at the before and after of the ranking at ZCT291. The changes have revealed a few individual achievements from the past several races: Frieshansen reached the 2000 points milestone at ZCT285, Zapper got a personal best of 1855 points at ZCT287, and KyLiE had a joint personal best of 2076 points at ZCT291.
As for ZCT292, it saw HerrNove, KyLiE, MiDiaN and Spoonboy reaching personal best ratings, as well as stanceboyCZ joining the rankings. Below is the updated (and revised!) evolution graph:

General Chat - ZSC / Re: ZakStunts pipsqueaks Tier ...
Last post by Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister - November 22, 2025, 10:20:43 PMSee my 100% objective and realistic ratings.
S: Untouchable, master of Stunts.
A: Top tier pipsqueaks. If they make a 100% effort, I can never beat them.
B: I have always felt to be inferior related to S and A drivers. On my day, with full effort, maybe I can beat them on my day, on may track (Indy/IMSA), otherwise, S and A are cleary better drivers than me. On the other hand, I feel superior related to divison C. I can mention no driver like this.
C: If I make 100% effort, I can beat them. Though, they are good Stunts pipsqueaks. Earlier drivers like Ben and Roy: I think they knew advanced replay handling before us - they sent times are easy to beat now.
D: Skilled Stunts pipsqueaks, though, they haven't proved ever to me to put them higher (or I haven't seen it).
E: Others.
Remark: S-A-C cathegory may contain drivers with multiple accounts, but this time, I have rated without presuming ghost presence.

Last post by Overdrijf - November 22, 2025, 09:59:21 PMWait, Stressed is from... 2013? At least? Was everything 64 bits already then?
I'm getting old.
Also, I have nothing real to add.

Competition 2025 / Re: ZCT293 - Symmetry
Last post by Duplode - November 22, 2025, 07:08:50 PM@Argammon That is a reasonable test; in particular, it follows the precedent we set at ZCT280: a dual-way switch is a line that wouldn't work without the dual-way bug. For doing such a test on this track, I'd suggest breaking the path you aren't using removing a single element at the beginning the track, near the split.

Competition 2025 / Re: ZCT293 - Symmetry
Last post by Argammon - November 22, 2025, 06:49:15 PMI have a question regarding the "dual-way switching is not allowed on this track" rule. When you power gear through the section with the many tunnels and the many crossroads it is hard to see whether you do a dual-way switch or not.
I propose the following procedure to double check whether a given replay is ok:
1) Load the replay with Bliss
2) Remove some roads from the way you did not take, or even remove the other way entirely.
3) Save it under a different name.
4) Load the replay with the modified track in Stunts. When it finishes without penalty time the original replay is valid.
Do you agree with this approach @dreadnaut and @Duplode?
PS: I am not sure a PG replay is competitive. Indeed, it may be several seconds too slow just like it wase last race. I just do power-gear laps for entertainment purpures.

Yesterday:
Portugal - Hungary 2-2,
even if scoring the equalizing goal just before stoppage time, it must have been noted that there were at least one (or even two) situations where a penalty should have been awarded for our team because of Portuguese handball. We also hit the post once, however, the opponent did so twice.
It was a great game, nevertheless - and congratulations for our goalie, Balázs Tóth, who played earlier for Kazincbarcika and born in Zubogy, a nearby village in my county.
Even if we clinch the second spot in our group, a very hard playoff will await our team, where our chances are not too big. And saying a big thank you to FIFA, several teams weaker than Hungary from other federations will qualify - if there are 48 teams, why there aren't more European teams instead of chanceless teams mostly from Asia and Africa???!!!
It's a pitty that Curazao, Haiti and Cabo Verde will be in the world cup and not Hungary.
Yep. Ireland did not deserve to make the playoffs, they played a disgusting, naughty football and were strongly helped by the refs in Dublin and in Budapest, too.
But I think even if we had qualified for the playoffs, we wouldn't have made the World Cup qualification.
The expansion is a joke... In 1982, 13+1 (hosts Spain) of the 24 teams were from Europe. Now 16 teams from Europe, while there are 48 teams are playing in the World Cup... Considering that since 1982 the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia has also taken place, I think the 16 European quotas are really too few.

Last post by Argammon - November 22, 2025, 05:48:07 PMQuote from: CTG on November 22, 2025, 02:08:08 PMCurrently my level is 1:08.xx in drunk state, online Default.trk racing - so, not a big deal, can be beaten easily by 5-10 pipsqueaks in an instant...
However, if I can find some motivation, podium is almost sure.
Quite a dilemma... shall I come back for "only one race"? I am pretty sure that if DOSBox will be available again, I will hunt (most of) you down, month to month...
But I don't want to. It was a sick life, with goals without real value...
The end of the season is usually the best time to win a race without too much effort. Most of us are taking it easy right now. However, if you were to race at the beginning of next season I think you would struggle to beat MiDiaN, but who knows.
